RE: [ActiveDir] Network Printing via Terminal services

2004-10-01 Thread George Arezina









As Rick states below,

You need to update the driver for each
printer on the terminal server. Start, control Panel, Printers & Faxes, File,
server properties, Drivers, Add….

When the client connects to the TS they
will see their printer session in their Printers folder.

Hope that helps you….

George

If you start an RDP session on WinXP and
click the 'Options' button, you can select the 'Local Resources' tab to tell
the remote desktop client to print to the local printer.

 

You'll need to put drivers for the local
printer on the term server for that to work.  

 

See http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/default.asp?url=""> for
a bit more detail.

 

Also a pretty nifty link with lots of TS

Hey all,





 





I am working on a project where 3 offices will be linked
together via point to point T1's.





The main office will house the server with the two satellite
offices term serving in to do their work.





Each satellite office has a print server with an HP4K
attached that is mapped to the local users workstation.





 





My question is thus... Will the users be able to print from
their term serv session to their local network printer?





Seems like it should, just looking for some input.





I hope I explained this well enough.





 





Thank you ahead of time.

Then why pick them in two different domains?  What is one going to tell you

You need a GC in the domain that Exchange expects to find it.  You have two
RUS definitions (should) one for the root and one for the other domain.  You
also have DSACCESS which will find the GC's available and pick one.  If it
picked the root GC, it would have some issues, but those issues would be
different than just changing email addresses. If the RUS was the problem,
changing an email address would be an issue until it came online. 

I'm guessing that a bigger problem is DNS.  How many DNS servers are defined

trying to write information to Exchange. The write operation will mostly
happen at the Exchange Org level, depending on what you are writing. Since
the org is at the root of the forest, there was nothing to write to.

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory w/ changes to Exchange

2004-10-01 Thread Mulnick, Al

You need a GC in the domain that Exchange expects to find it.  You have two
RUS definitions (should) one for the root and one for the other domain.  You
also have DSACCESS which will find the GC's available and pick one.  If it
picked the root GC, it would have some issues, but those issues would be
different than just changing email addresses. If the RUS was the problem,
changing an email address would be an issue until it came online. 

I'm guessing that a bigger problem is DNS.  How many DNS servers are defined
for the Exchange server and where are they located in respect to the
domains?  It's possible it's just a GC/RUS issue though.

Thanks for all the posts!  

We have an additional DC/DNS server in the ROOT but it is NOT a GC.  That
being said... I am assuming that's why I couldn't make my changes  the
GC was unavailable for the root.  Correct?

Could be an answer.  Depends on the rest of the details of their
environment.  Having a single instance of DNS is not a recommended way to go
about things and that may not be the only detail we need to make a

So really the answer to their issue here is to setup another GC/DC that is
also DNS and point the exchange server to the child domain DNS and configure
that DNS to do a forward lookup to the root DNS Servers.

Exchange(dsaccess) needs to look into the root dns to find a gc to begin
with. If the root dns is down, exchange can't find a gc to write to or
lookup address or where a email is supposed to go,etc If exchange can't find
a gc, the info store will not start.

Hello all! 

 

I had an incident today that I really can't quite understand - please
help...

 

Background:

I have an empty root domain and a child domain.  The child domain has an
E2K3 server in it.  The E2k3 server has its primary DNS point to a DC/DNS
server in the child domain and its secondary DNS points to the empty root
DC/DNS server.  

 

Situation:

The empty root DC/DNS server had a power failure (we have other servers in
this domain).  During the time when the empty root DC/DNS server was off I
had to make changes to a particular users email address.  I was unable to
make any changes and received an error:  the server is not operational -
Exchange Extension.  After getting the empty root server back online I was
able to make changes and everything is fine.  

 

Probably something simple - BUT WHAT AM I MISSING? 

 

Also, on a different note...

RE: [ActiveDir] Extending schema and importing accounts with pass words

2004-10-01 Thread Mulnick, Al




The two best parts of this document are the links and extra 
information that talk about looking to the help files, but.. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326310
 
This is a much better document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">
 
Registering the OID is a best practice and one that many 
who didn't later wish they did.
 
Keep in mind that CSVDE is a utility that will help you 
create or delete objects in the directory only.  It is not intended to be 
used for the modification of any items.  As such, it's very 
limited.
 
LDIFDE (LDIF) format it tougher to work with and can be 
very unforgiving.  
 
For those reasons, I prefer to use vbscript to do 
this.  Typically I prefer to use a csv format because that's what my admins 
are used to manipulating and then just read that in and commit it as needed. 

 
DSADD might be useful to you as well.

Could be an answer.  Depends on the rest of the details of their
environment.  Having a single instance of DNS is not a recommended way to go
about things and that may not be the only detail we need to make a
suggestion.

So really the answer to their issue here is to setup another GC/DC that is

Hello all! 

 

I had an incident today that I really can't quite understand - please
help...

 

Background:

I have an empty root domain and a child domain.  The child domain has an
E2K3 server in it.  The E2k3 server has its primary DNS point to a DC/DNS
server in the child domain and its secondary DNS points to the empty root
DC/DNS server.  

 

Situation:

The empty root DC/DNS server had a power failure (we have other servers in
this domain).  During the time when the empty root DC/DNS server was off I
had to make changes to a particular users email address.  I was unable to
make any changes and received an error:  the server is not operational -
Exchange Extension.  After getting the empty root server back online I was
able to make changes and everything is fine.  

 

Probably something simple - BUT WHAT AM I MISSING? 

 

Also, on a different note... I was hoping that you all could suggest some
patch management solutions that you use.  I don't know if this request is
bad etiquette or not... if so, please email me offline with info.  We're in
the middle of finding a good patch management solution for our servers and I
was hoping to get some direction on good software from the field.

 

Thanks in advance! 

 

Joe

RE: [ActiveDir] Moving Users between servers

2004-10-01 Thread Quatro Info









The usual way to do this
is with Active Directory using either drag-and-drop or the Active Directory
Migration Tool, but if you have two standalone servers with no AD domain, you
can use the AddUsers Resource Kit utility. This utility does not migrate
passwords, however. The best way to do this is to create an Active Directory
domain and use that to replicate user information between the two machines
automatically.

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory w/ changes to Exchange

2004-10-01 Thread Mulnick, Al

Normally, for a SMTP address on a user object yes.  But in this case,
Exchange couldn't find the domain, right?  The DNS server was down. 

That would be why you would want multiple domain controllers handling DNS.
There is a failover time involved, but the user object address could be
modified if the server can find the domain - in theory.  Some changes rely
on the root to be available as Deji says.  Your particular operation should
have succeeded and likely would have if the infrastructure were available.

You may want to make some changes.

If you start an RDP session on WinXP and click the 
'Options' button, you can select the 'Local Resources' tab to tell the remote 
desktop client to print to the local printer.
 
You'll need to put drivers for the local printer on the 
term server for that to work.  
 
See http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/default.asp?url=""> for

Hey 
all,
 
I am working on a 
project where 3 offices will be linked together via point to point 
T1's.
The main office will 
house the server with the two satellite offices term serving in to do their 
work.
Each satellite 
office has a print server with an HP4K attached that is mapped to the local 
users workstation.
 
My question is 
thus... Will the users be able to print from their term serv session to their 
local network printer?
Seems like it 
should, just looking for some input.
I hope I explained 
this well enough.
 
Thank you ahead of 
time.

Gc's write their srv

for GC's.





No GC=no exchange.

Hello all! 

 

I had an incident today that I
really can’t quite understand – please help…

 

Background:

I have an empty root domain and a
child domain.  The child domain has an E2K3 server in it.  The E2k3
server has its primary DNS point to a DC/DNS server in the child domain and its
secondary DNS points to the empty root DC/DNS server.  

 

Situation:

The empty root DC/DNS server had a
power failure (we have other servers in this domain).  During the time
when the empty root DC/DNS server was off I had to make changes to a particular
users email address.  I was unable to make any changes and received an
error:  the server is not operational - Exchange Extension.  After
getting the empty root server back online I was able to make changes and
everything is fine.  

 

Probably something simple –
BUT WHAT AM I MISSING? 

 

Also, on a different note… I
was hoping that you all could suggest some patch management solutions that you
use.  I don’t know if this request is bad etiquette or not… if
so, please email me offline with info.  We’re in the middle of
finding a good patch management solution for our servers and I was hoping to
get some direction on good software from the field.

 

Thanks in advance!

But if there are other DC's in the root that too are Global Catalog servers, should 
they be able to write to the Exchange Org?

What are you missing? Nothing. The root DC was not available, and you are
trying to write information to Exchange. The write operation will mostly
happen at the Exchange Org level, depending on what you are writing. Since
the org is at the root of the forest, there was nothing to write to.

Active Roles is a better product in my experience and has had richer
features for a longer time. With Quests addition of Aelita they are
starting to incorporate some great stuff into their products including
into Active Roles. I use DRA as well and it is a very functional product
and should do everything you need it to.

Re: [ActiveDir] OT:spyware

2004-10-01 Thread Bart Van den Wyngaert

Client rollout you can do it yourself by using unattended setup through the network. 
The only thing that can be a problem is the number of different hardware types. But I 
believe the you can easily simply the installations and standardize them easily (which 
is a good thing I believe). A benefit is in case of reinstallation. In the beginning 
it's a bit searching your way, but once you get hold on the process, it's quiet fun to 
set up :-)

But you will need another solution for the deployment of patches etc. which comes 
afterwards when the clients are already in production, but I believe that you can find 
one which meets your requirements etc. very easy ;-)

Regards,
Bart
